[7/21/2020 11:17:21 AM] Tom Barfield: I agree - business pilot approach is the way to get started.  At some point there is probably a need for a hybrid top down and business focus needed.

[7/21/2020 11:24:41 AM] Ginetta: So @Hank you found the KM team within your organization. You did not have the need to hire someone from outside. Is that correct?

[7/21/2020 11:33:23 AM] Stan Garfield: N Cs of Topic X

[7/21/2020 11:37:47 AM] Pavel Kraus: In our SKMF.net roundtable discussions on securing KM jobs, we ended up with the strategy of linking KM activities directly to value creation. That makes KMers indispensable.

[7/21/2020 11:38:44 AM] Andrew Trickett: Hank a good database, are you able to do some weeding so that the lessons are still relevant to peoples day to day work.?

[7/21/2020 11:39:27 AM] Ginetta: @Hank: slide 15/16 -> did you create specific task force (with x number of people) for each KM component?

[7/21/2020 11:39:27 AM] Ginetta: @Hank: slide 17 -> how did you create the KPI? Where did you get those numbers to say "increased % of..", "Reduced time ...". Did you use IT backend data or survey or?

[7/21/2020 11:49:18 AM] John: congrats again on MIKE! :)

[7/21/2020 11:49:29 AM] Ginetta: Great work Hank!

[7/21/2020 11:49:29 AM] Ginetta: Thank you for sharing!

[7/21/2020 11:51:31 AM] Luis Suarez: Hi Hank, if you were to start today with PDO's KM programme (as opposed to 4 years ago), what would you have done different and why?

[7/21/2020 11:51:46 AM] Ginetta: @Hank: when you went to the board of directors did they say you "wow go ahead , here you are the funds, the people, etc"? Or did you get some resistance? Can you share with us a couple of tough questions and the winning answer you provided?

[7/21/2020 11:56:09 AM] Luis Suarez: Thanks, Hank, for the answer! :)

[7/21/2020 11:56:09 AM] Luis Suarez: Thanks much, indeed, for the presentation, Hank! That was really inspiring! Well done! (clap) (clap) (clap)

[7/21/2020 11:59:48 AM] Bob Farricker: Great presentation

[7/21/2020 12:00:00 PM] Eve Porter-Zuckerman: thank you!

[7/21/2020 12:00:01 PM] Heather Fox: Thanks Hank--great presentation

[7/21/2020 12:00:05 PM] Andrew Trickett: Thank you

[7/21/2020 12:00:06 PM] Susan Genden: Thank you!

[7/21/2020 12:00:10 PM] Ginetta: Yes clap clap! Thanks!

Hank Malik's presentation/discussion on the KM program at Petroleum Development Oman was a robust case study of a particular industry/company - it had something for seasoned KMers, but would be quite helpful for those new to KM with guidance for approaches, tools and capabilities building.

If you missed the live discussion, I recommend listening to the recording and viewing the slides when convenient. 

Hello Hank,
again thank you for sharing your experience which to me seems a wonderful example of Best Practice.

Question for you: how long did you and your team take to reach the positive and current status quo?

Thanks and regards,
Ginetta
